Change to DLC Weapon Drop Chances

Heroes!

We have been monitoring the reception the DLC weapons have gotten over the last two map DLCs and while we're overall happy with their reception we still feel that we could make the experience more consistent between players.

We want these weapons to be somewhat rare, but the length that you can be punished if you're unlucky is out of line with our objectives. Not being able to remedy this with the Altar of Sigmar like you can with the base weapons hasn't helped.

We have therefore decided to alter the probabilities for DLC owners so that if you haven't gotten a drop in a very long time, it will gradually increase the chance until you get one. This way we keep that you have to play these levels to get the weapons from them (which an altar solution wouldn't) but we also shave the tip off over those corner cases where a single player has completed these levels scores of times without even getting to try parts of the content they've paid for.

This change will go live with the release of Reikshammer Contracts, which is out now!

We hope this will make the previous and future DLC maps a better and more consistent experience, but will also keep monitoring this if it needs any future adjustments.
